Menu Functions

Edit 0 3 …

What functions are available in Menu Mode?


Note: By default, main menu settings apply to all print jobs. However, for settings that are also available in the printer driver, the values specified in the printer driver take priority.

The following list is for the iPF5000. There may be some additions/changes for the iPFX100 generation printers. For example, printer calibration has been added to the X100 printers.

Text in parentheses shows the possible settings.
Text in square bracket shows non-abbreviated meaning with comments on function if known and relevant.
